While growing up, teachers hold a position of authority that makes them far more intimidating than attractive for the most part, but there are some exceptions. Most schools would have at least one teacher that a large following of students would start to crush on a little bit. You'd think that most kids would be too shy to give any feelings they have be noticed, but some are more confident than others, as this Reddit thread showed.
User Rabidwalnut asked the "attractive teachers of reddit", whether they knew which students had a crush on them, and "what is the strangest or most inappropriate thing you overheard said about you?" - and the answers are beyond cringey.
1. Part of the family
"I have substituted and tutored at the high school where my mom teaches. There was a girl that started referring to her as her mother in law. That got pretty weird." - watergator
2. Paying a fine
"I’m a circ librarian at a university. One time a few years back a girl who had about $20 in library fines came to the desk to plead for a waiver. She was wearing a loose blouse with no bra underneath.
"Cue some flirty appeals, and then, when it became evident I was having none of her shit, she leans way over the circ desk and lets her blouse hang full open. 'Are you sure there’s NOTHING we can arrange?' she asks.
"'Yup, I'm sure, nothing. That’s $20, please. Cash, check, debit, or meal plan?' (wtf she thought I was going to say, I have no idea.)" - August1453
3. A unique thankyou
"Always knew about the crush as she would drop hints and joke about when she is 18. Well, she turned 18 and when she graduated early she bluntly asked me if I can make her mentor wish come true.
"She was also a stripper and asked me to come by for a thank you lap dance. Some students gave me notes or apples. This lass really just wanted to thank me in her own unique way. Bless her." - Anthingleftyo
4. Lunchtime confession
"I had a girl come in at lunch. She told me ‘Mr. I like you’. Knowing full well what she meant, I tried to play it off and said as nonchalant as I could, ‘I like you too, you’re a great student!’ She was like, ‘no, I mean I realllly like you.’ I couldn’t believe the tenacity." - tabootapeworm
5. Is this how it's done now?
"Another student asked me to take a picture with her towards the end of the school year. I obliged and on the last day she printed it out and gave it to me with her instagram on the back and a message about how cute I was." - tabootapeworm (again)
6. Well this is awkward...
"A girl found my Facebook and saved my profile picture as the background to her phone. I deleted my Facebook promptly afterward. If only I could get that kind of attention from girls my own age." - tabootapeworm (one more time)
7. Unwanted attention
"The girls will just come and find reasons to be close to you. Stand next to you and lean into you, try to lock arms, hug you, etc. They'll say that they really like you.
"They try to touch my beard too. I go to the gym a lot and am starting to get decent looking body. They ask me to show them my muscles or if I have a six pack, etc. That can get pretty weird.
"One time a girl brought in a plastic rose for me on Valentine's day. That was the sweetest one and I've actually still kept that. Funnily enough it's the only thing I've ever received on Valentine's day." - frostedcereal
8. So cringey
"Among several personal questions was "do you have a girlfriend?" and once a student called me "honey". it's especially icky because they're just 8th graders." - pitch-white
9. Group crush
"The first day I started, a group of giggling teenage girls were huddled and whispering and looking at me. One of them worked up the guts to come over to me and say "Hello, sir... one question please? Just... just... " she was blushing "Are you married?" So yeah, a bunch of 16 year old girls were hoping I was single. What they thought they'd do if I was, I'm not sure... but they were crushing.
"One day I'm walking down a long hallway at the school and was vaguely aware of a group of girls behind me whispering. I didn't realize they were focused on me until I heard one say "Look at his butt!" I stopped without turning around, and they burst into loud embarrassed laughter and then scattered like cockroaches when the light turns on." - deleted
10. Not meant to be heard
"On my first day as a middle school intern, one of my students told his friends, "Miss [redacted] is mine." I walked behind his seat right as he said it and he just about died from embarrassment when he figured out that I heard him" - turnoffthecentury
11. A little too informal
"I had a young teenaged boy get a little too informal/familiar with me when e-mailing me over time, as students can do if they need to. He ended up sending me a picture of an anime character, who had the same hair colour as me, wearing a small bikini. He commented that he liked the show series she was from because he thought I looked a lot like her." - noisypeach
12. Going for the classics
"A student raised his hand while we were going over homework in class, and said "Miss, I have a question". I said "Let's hear it." He pulled out a boombox from under his desk, pressed play and stood up on the desk. Just as he did, Backstreet Boys' "All I Have to Give" came on and with his arms outstretched he asked "Will you go to prom with me?" I turned so red I had to walk out of the room." - garace
The most awkward thing I have ever saw when I was at school was a 16-year-old repeatedly tell one of our teachers that he thought she was beautiful - not appropriate by any means, but it had nothing on the awkwardness of these Reddit stories.

Teachers are the individuals we likely all hated beyond all-belief when we were kids or rebellious, assertive teenagers. Hated to the point where we would play up or encourage and "egg-on" those who had the courage to misbehave. In some of the classes I attended in the middle of my compulsory education, chaos was king, and the way many of us acted, myself included, must have been a nightmare to be on the receiving end of.
In all honesty, and I think later in life, we will all unanimously agree, teachers are the heroes of the modern age for the way they face and the adversity they overcome each day. However, these seemingly and commonly perceived to be insurmountable odds aren't always won by playing by the very book taught! Rather some teachers twisted and intelligently turned upon the jokers, forcing them into being the very joke themselves.
So, here we are, 30 examples, in no particular order, of teachers getting their own well and truly back!
[post_page_title]#1 A Note On My English Teachers Door[/post_page_title]
Beginning this list, we have a teacher showing how clued-up and clued in they really are into what their students say about them and their classes. Never underestimate your elders, kids!

To their credit, the teacher sees their point well and truly made, yet leaves the student in question anonymous for the most part. Again, well played.
[post_page_title]#2 Teacher Wrote “See Me After School”[/post_page_title]
Many moons ago, when I was still in compulsory education, it was a common occurrence that students who were doing extremely well in school, either or in general or at that time, would become a little cocky in the assurance of such good work.

This teacher absolutely nailed such behavior, setting this student straight through hilarious fear tactics.
It worked, didn't it? Lessons were learned.
[post_page_title]#3 Psychology Professor Trolls Two Of His Students[/post_page_title]
There are many age-old maxims that pertain to making an example of individuals and groups in order to outlaw or improve certain circumstances or traits. It's something that is still the case to this day in many places of work but especially in schools.

The professor executes such exercise in the most beautifully manipulative way suitable to her station and it's brilliant.
[post_page_title]#4 My Professor's Got Jokes [/post_page_title]
One way to achieve harmony and a less troubled classroom environment is to assert dominance in all ways appropriate. To do so in ways that will not only give you hegemony over the unruly mob but methods that will also garner respect.

Many of my friends are teachers and they use this method. The above example would impress even them.
[post_page_title]#5 He Does This Every Test So We Don’t Cheat[/post_page_title]
Each to their own. This teacher knows the game. He knows that people will cheat if they can, and he also is aware of his own biology, in that it sadly hasn't enabled him to see from the back of his cranium.

"If it works, it works" is clearly the motto of this teacher, and it clearly works.
[post_page_title]#6 An Awesome Yet Evil Professor[/post_page_title]
When students get older, the amount that they can give and take a little verbal abuse, banter and practical jokes, as a rule, increases annually. This is something that the professor in this next example us more than aware of.

If there was ever an example of a professor or person in power within the realm of education having unambiguous control of their charges, its utterly this genius.
[post_page_title]#7 The Professor Is Not Mad... Just Disappointed[/post_page_title]
The moan, the winge, the lecture, the full-blown deconstruction of students' arrogance. We'd be all be lying to ourselves if we said we hadn't fallen prey to it. Sometimes, it made things worse and sometimes, just sometimes, orchestrated the right way, proved more than effective in getting the point across.
[caption id="attachment_4712" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Not only is this brutal, but in the manner it's written, gets the point across in a crystal clear fashion - so much so that I really hope this wastes of this professors time wised-up.
[post_page_title]#8 He Asked The Teacher For A Pen[/post_page_title]
When in education, you get to a certain age as an individual where the ability to bring something to scribble notes with or write an exam is expected. But, if it kept happening, and it was getting embarrassing, how would a good teacher deal with it?
[caption id="attachment_4713" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Like this. I should think that this student never, ever, in a million quills forgot his pen again.
[post_page_title]#9 My Chemistry Teacher's Solution To People Stealing Her Calculators[/post_page_title]

To give this excellent cosplay a little context, this fountain of knowledge was sick of the constant comments and jokes directed at him, suggesting that he strongly resembled Lord Voldermort from the Harry Potter franchise. So, this was his response.
Maybe he did find the stone?

I had a few teachers back in the day that would do this or rather things like. They would do it so subtly and so skillfully that by the time the entered the room or began to teach something a little heavy going, the students would have given them their undivided attention.

The caption on the original entry read as follows: "Our biology teacher bought a skeleton to class yesterday and now everyone's treating it as if its part of the class - so I'm going to!"

I'm sure many were questioning whether this teacher was fit to be in charge of people's kids but either way, that's one way to make light of a situation.
[post_page_title]#21 When Your Professor Is Feeling Savage[/post_page_title]
Generally speaking, if you're sat in a classroom, you're either there to learn because that's what a school is at a compulsory level or you have chosen to be there. When either of the boxes are ticked and students show a complete disregard to the process, then it understandably irritates teachers. Onward ye scroll!

Passive aggression is a method that when in a position of power, shows true intention and preference. Given the state of contemporary politics, its terrifying, given the state of this next example, it's more than amusing!

To close, we have a teacher that has although unequivocally had enough and sat on the fence with one leg over passive-aggressive and the other dangling over all-out war, has completely controllably, dealt with their unruly students in the best way.

Why would you cross this teacher again? It would be pointless! If anything, you'd want to learn such emotionally deconstructive power!
Excellent job teach, excellent job.
I hoped you laughed and reminisced as much as I did! Be sure to tell your kids to absolutely not underestimate their teachers!
A school teacher has slammed social media users who claimed her work-wear outfits showing off her curves are "inappropriate".
The woman, who goes by the handle @toyboxdollz on Instagram, shares photos of her life as an art teacher, including artworks and classroom snaps.
In some of her posts, she is seen wearing figure-hugging tops to accentuate her body and high-waisted pants to show her hourglass curves.
However, not everyone seems to agree with her outfit choices, with many commenting on her Instagram page with complaints and questions about the appropriateness of her clothes.
Check out her posts below:
Some parents have criticized the teacher for being "inappropriate" for taking pictures in the classroom "with an intention for getting likes".
Other users have jumped to her defense, urging people to leave the teacher alone and saying her outfits are perfectly suitable for a classroom.
One user wrote: "All the people body shaming you need to sit down, you’re beautiful."
Another shared: "What does it matter what a teacher's body looks like? What matters is if she's a good teacher and the children learn from her. Y'all should keep your gutter opinions to yourselves."

The teacher has since responded to the hate comments in a 14-minute video, posted on August 25, saying: "I teach babies, and there are no haters in the classroom thinking of that."
"I’m a really, really good teacher," she continued. "I had students emailing me during the summer asking me for homework. They love art. I love teaching art. I love working with children to create art.”
"It is mind-boggling that people are criticizing my physical appearance," she continued, adding, "Some of the mothers at my school are really my biggest supporters, they write to thank me for teaching at the school."
After posting the video, many users on the platform have sent their praise to the teacher, applauding her for displaying resilience in dealing with the negativity.
One user wrote: "She could have been negative and carelessly talking to defend herself but she didn't! Kudos to you for staying positive and appreciate your supporters! And THANK YOU for your service and dedication to the children."
While another commented: "You have always been a great person with a wonderful heart!! Don’t allow any negativity to affect any of the positive things you have going on. Wishing you all the best and many blessings."

In a different video posted on August 28, the teacher wrote a caption calling out people for body shaming, adding there was a shortage of teachers.
"Trying to body shame me because I am curvaceous is STILL discrimination!!! Teachers are quitting left and right every day all day! The shortage of educators going on right now is insane!" she said.
"Teachers no longer want to teach, they rather work online, from home, even take a retail job over teaching because it's less agitating work and pays more than we get paid as teachers," she added.
An elementary school teacher has been defended by online users after garnering criticism for wearing "inappropriate" outfits that don't properly conceal her curvy figure.
The New Jersey-based educator - who is named Roxsana Diaz on her account - has managed to rack up an impressive one million followers on her @ToyboxDollz Instagram account, where she uploads images of her figure-hugging outfits, sometimes taken inside her classroom.
In some of the snaps, the curvaceous woman can be seen showing off her figure up against a whiteboard. In other photos, the kids in her class are seen, with their faces censored.
The art teacher receives a lot of praise from her fellow Instagram users, however, others berate her for wearing tight-fitting outfits around young children.
Check out one of her posts below:
Diaz's latest picture, which showed her in a classroom amongst several children while wearing a tight-fitting jeans and top combo, was heavily slammed by users.
In the caption of her post, the teacher asked her fellow educators if they were ready for the new school year, writing: "Have you prepared mental release exercises to make sure you do not become overwhelmed by unprofessional or vindictive administration?
"Being an educator is so much harder than people will ever understand, especially people that have never been educators," she continued. "We are overworked, most receive low pay, and the job is truly Monday-Monday.
"Educators are trusted with the well-being and safety of other adults' most priced treasures, their children. If an educator is not fully taking care of their mental health, they will not be able to perform adequately. So please take some time every day before that bell rings to work on yourself so you can perform for those babies," she added.
She signed off her post by providing those struggling in the role a contact for help. However, her encouraging message was once again overlooked as users focused on her clothing instead.
One critic wrote in the comments section: "This is disgusting… if you don’t think so, then you’re the problem as well. I’m talking about the intention. Holler it’s just a picture of you want. Ya whole brand is a sexy teacher… I get it but leave the kids outta it. Crazy **ing world. Anything for money."
Another said: "I get it you not wanting to only be known for your body but you contradict yourself by posting the first pic and making it seem about education," while a third remarked: "This feels wrong on many levels..you should rethink your pics and poses before you post.."
"You a teacher but you need to learn social responsibility sweety.....you know you a sexy baddie, not important to show assets," they concluded.

However, many followers sent their support to the art teacher and advised her to ignore the trolls who pointed out her dress sense. One person said: "A smart and beautiful lady inside and out! Keep up God's work girl."
A second penned: "Yas girl, p**s off all those [men], criticize the mismanagement of the education system, and do it all while being pretty," while someone else added: "You are so f***in dope, have an amazing school year Roxsana, keep motivating & inspiring beautiful one."

The art teacher previously responded to the hate she gets on her account during a 14-minute livestream, in which she defended her Instagram posts.
"I have seen some men said some crazy, mean stuff, but I teach babies and there are no haters in the classroom thinking of that," she said.
"I’m a really, really good teacher," she continued. "I had students emailing me during the summer asking me for homework. They love art. I love teaching art. I love working with children to create art."
If the last few weeks have taught us anything, it's that sexual abuse is rife in the world - whether we notice it or not.
Often, abusers are people in positions of power. Some big Hollywood names have been outed as perpetrators of harassment and inappropriate behavior recently, but these types of actions are by no means limited to high-status positions.
This week, news emerged of a Columbian school teacher who forced her underage pupils to have sex with her in return for good grades.
The teacher, who has been identified only as 'Yokasta M', is set to be formally charged after it emerged that she was blackmailing her students into sleeping with her, and had threatened to fail them if they refused to comply.
The 40-year-old woman asked for her students' numbers in order to "help them with their studies", but then groomed the teenagers by sending them hundreds of explicit pictures via Whatsapp. After her arrest, one of her victims posted some of the images online.
Along with the pictures (some of which depicted the woman almost entirely nude), the student provided a statement showing exactly what he thought of the woman. "This is the teacher Yokasta, who tells us that she disapproves of us if we do not have relations with her," he said.
It is believed that Yokasta asked up to 40 young boys for their numbers and invited dozens of them back to her flat, where she ordered some of them to perform sex acts on her and said she would give them failing grades if they declined.
Yokasta's perverted activity was only discovered when the stepfather of one of the victims noticed some X-rated snaps on his son's phone. Amongst the pictures were shots of the teacher in her underwear, in a bikini, in sexually-suggestive positions, and even one with her using a stuffed toy to cover her exposed genitals.
The woman had been bombarding her students with pictures non-stop, manipulating them into doing things they did not want to, and showing complete disregard for their wellbeing.
As a result of her disgusting behavior, the teacher could be facing up to four decades behind bars. Not only that, but her husband has abandoned her, and filed for divorce after finding out about Yokasta's treatment of her students.
Worryingly, many reactions to the story have not been ones of condemnation and disappointment - but rather approval.
"If i had to chose [sic] a way of being threatened this would be it. I would have had a field day bumping my grades up with this," said one commenter.
"Why couldn't I have had teachers like her lol," wrote another.
One of the problems with abuse from women against boys and young men is that it is not taken seriously enough. The pupils in this situation were forced to act against their will and perform sexual acts under duress, and, had they been female, this story would probably be received a lot differently.
Perhaps, if we recognized the true severity of incidents like this, we would not have such large-scale problems such as the ones we are seeing in Hollywood right now.
Teachers are the individuals we likely hated beyond all-belief when we were kids or rebellious, assertive teenagers. We hated them to the point where we would play up or encourage and "egg-on" those who had the courage to misbehave. In all honesty, later in life, we will all unanimously agree that teachers are the heroes of the modern age for the way they face and the adversity they overcome each day. In fact, some teachers turned upon the jokers, forcing them into being the very joke themselves...

To do so in ways that will not only give you hegemony over the unruly mob but methods that will also garner respect. Many of my friends are teachers and they use this method. The above example would impress even them.
[post_page_title]#5 He Does This Every Test So We Don’t Cheat[/post_page_title]
Each to their own. This teacher knows the game. He knows that people will cheat if they can, and he also is aware of his own biology, in that it sadly hasn't enabled him to see from the back of his cranium. "If it works, it works" is clearly the motto of this teacher, and it clearly works.
[post_page_title]#6 An Awesome Yet Evil Professor[/post_page_title]
When students get older, the amount that they can give and take a little verbal abuse, banter and practical jokes, as a rule, increases annually. This is something that the professor in this next example us more than aware of. If there was ever an example of a professor or person in power within the realm of education having unambiguous control of their charges, its utterly this genius.
[post_page_title]#7 The Professor Is Not Mad... Just Disappointed[/post_page_title]
The moan, the winge, the lecture, the full-blown deconstruction of students' arrogance. We'd be all be lying to ourselves if we said we hadn't fallen prey to it. Sometimes, it made things worse and sometimes, just sometimes, orchestrated the right way, proved more than effective in getting the point across.
[post_page_title]#8 He Asked The Teacher For A Pen[/post_page_title]
When in education, you get to a certain age as an individual where the ability to bring something to scribble notes with or write an exam is expected. But, if it kept happening, and it was getting embarrassing, how would a good teacher deal with it? Like this. I should think that this student never, ever, in a million quills forgot his pen again.
[post_page_title]#9 My Chemistry Teacher's Solution To People Stealing Her Calculators[/post_page_title]
I remember teachers becoming highly irritated at the prospect of their equipment disappearing, and when it actually did, all hell would break loose! Or was that brick-loose? I can't remember.
[post_page_title]#10 I Fell For It (Troll Teacher)[/post_page_title]
For this next example, I can only imagine what this class was or wasn't doing to such an extent to warrant such a complex effort. Scroll down! And they all got straights As, never messed around, misbehaved or missed a deadline ever again.
[post_page_title]#11 Dressing As Professor Quirrell[/post_page_title]
"In order to beat them, sometimes, you must join them and be better than they have ever been" - This Teacher. To give this excellent cosplay a little context, this fountain of knowledge was sick of the constant comments and jokes directed at him, suggesting that he strongly resembled Lord Voldermort from the Harry Potter franchise. So, this was his response.
[post_page_title]#13 Teachers Have Just As Much Of Humorous Side[/post_page_title]
Do the scroll! Never underestimate teachers or simply subscribe to the belief that they are all mindless, authoritative and emotionless drones, they are people too, infinitely hilarious people.
[post_page_title]#14 My Uni Lecturer Has A Photo Of Him Sitting On His Desk On The Window. I Paid 9k To These Trolls![/post_page_title]
Bitter? This student? I absolutely have no idea what you are trying to infer. An utter legend? This teacher? I completely concur with what you are trying to infer.
[post_page_title]#15 My Professor's Desktop Before Our Final Exam[/post_page_title]
I had a few teachers back in the day that would do this or rather things like. They would do it so subtly and so skillfully that by the time the entered the room or began to teach something a little heavy going, the students would have given them their undivided attention. El Teacho is not to be messed with.
[post_page_title]#16 Our Biology Teacher Brought A Skeleton To Class[/post_page_title]
This one is a little more lighthearted and likely as a result of a teacher who actually really fond of his class and of his commitment to teaching them. The caption on the original entry read as follows: "Our biology teacher bought a skeleton to class yesterday and now everyone's treating it as if its part of the class - so I'm going to!" The system works!
[post_page_title]#18 Did My Professor Just...[/post_page_title]
"Did he just what? Answer your question? No, there was something else?" "Oh I see, yes he did and did it well." Teachers are teachers for a reason and yet their intelligence, and how they choose to use it, is still nothing short of amazing.
[post_page_title]#19 My Brother Lost His Recorder And The Teacher Still Made Him Perform[/post_page_title]
I can't decide if this one is a little cruel or not. I'm sure it is, but teaching younger people, especially tiny-humans, the basic responsibility of well, responsibility is paramount surely? Yes, yes it is and sometimes it's also funny.
[post_page_title]#20 So My Teacher Had Us Do A Lab Today And...[/post_page_title]
... well, what are you waiting for?! Scroll on! I'm sure many were questioning whether this teacher was fit to be in charge of people's kids but either way, that's one way to make light of a situation.
[post_page_title]#21 When Your Professor Is Feeling Savage[/post_page_title]
Generally speaking, if you're sat in a classroom, you're either there to learn because that's what a school is at a compulsory level or you have chosen to be there. When either of the boxes are ticked and students show a complete disregard to the process, then it understandably irritates teachers. Onward ye scroll! Today on: Minimal words make big statements!
[post_page_title]#22 Math Teacher Got Tired Of Kids Not Returning Her Pencils[/post_page_title]
Passive aggression is a method that when in a position of power, shows true intention and preference. Given the state of contemporary politics, its terrifying, given the state of this next example, it's more than amusing! That said, the joke is on this teacher if this teacheroo had a room full of Beliebers...
[post_page_title]#24 Never Say "Yo" To Your Professor[/post_page_title]
Chris clearly thought that he had the bravado and the intelligence to get away with not turning up to class, he thought that emailing his oracle of knowledge give him the answers he needed. Chris was wrong. The oracle decides whether you are intelligent or not, Chris and it has given you your task. Brilliant.

[post_page_title]#25 Professor Just Started Updating The Course Site And Added This Photo[/post_page_title]
Nagging sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. It indeed is what it ultimately is. Passive aggression strikes again and is exponentially more (super) effective.
[post_page_title]#26 When You Don't Show Up For Spanish Class And Your Teacher Is Extra As Hell[/post_page_title]
Back to the image that drew you here is where we find ourselves now! But why? Why must we see this again? Because, my young students, teachers are adept at many things and owning students who abuse their power is one of them! This was obviously taken in jest, but I felt the need to be dramatic! If you don't like it, put me in detention.
[post_page_title]#27 My Son's Teacher Is Proud Of Me![/post_page_title]
This is one of the better entries on this list. This teacher clearly knows the capabilities of his charges! Ryan's dad has been rumbled. Be honest with yourself now - how many times did your teachers spot your parent's own hand in your work?!
[post_page_title] #29 This Is Incredible[/post_page_title]
This one is a little heart-warming but also a clever-little "get back" at easily distracted students. And you know what? See for yourself, it bloody worked! What an excellent way to inspire confidence AND eliminate chatting during a test!
[post_page_title]#30 I Think The Teacher Is Sick Of The Our Class[/post_page_title]
To close, we have a teacher that has although unequivocally had enough and sat on the fence with one leg over passive-aggressive and the other dangling over all-out war, has completely controllably, dealt with their unruly students in the best way. Why would you cross this teacher again? It would be pointless! If anything, you'd want to learn such emotionally deconstructive power!
